i want you to imagine what it feels like. republicans are spending millions of real, actual dollars to make tens of millions of people hear this. they know we'll see it in rooms with our friends and family. they know we'll be sitting in the bar. they know what it does to us. evil is intentional.
Just when you don't think that party can be more evil, they double and triple down. I am so mad and sad at the same time this evening when the ad started showing in our area.
It's really hard to not just fall into a pile of sadness l despair
agreed. this evil is intentional
The GOP went hard after the gay/lesbian community for decades. After gay adoption next. Gay marriage next. It demonized the fuck out of them. Yours will be a long battle, too, with small victories along the way. But you have to hang tough. We're in your corner.
Of course they feel confident in openly hatemongering. No one in any position of power does anything to stop them.
Every person who has made a republican political donation has directly contributed to this evil.
One thing I find particularly disgusting is using people of color to denigrate trans people, because in another ad he's trying to make white people scared of people of color. He clearly sees his key to victory as getting as many of us to hate each other as possible.
They aren't trying to win votes, they are trying to whip up the base to "protect their rights" and "save their country" by killing queer and trans people.
I don't think I've seen it despite my grandfather always watching Fox News all the time. I'm kinda curious about what it is
when i say "they know", let's be clear they know what the suicide attempt rate is for trans people, and they know what increases it. they've got all the information we do. they are not just aware of what this ad blast does to us, *they hope that it does so*
